There's still a lot of 'noise' out of there. After all radiation doesn't just travel out in one direction (unless directed). It expands away from sources such as stars in big spheres, doesn't it?

[QUOTE=livelonger12;14168731]No, we're proof that we're the only life in the Universe. There hasn't been any other, and there isn't likely to be any other and thus, aliens don't exist.[/QUOTE]
Life takes water. That's pretty much it. If you have water and a few other variables, you get life. Do you honestly think Earth is the only planet with water out of all those BILLIONS of galaxies with the millions to trillions of solar systems with up to hundreds of planets? The chances of NOT having life in the universe is just preposterous. Now the chance that whatever life form it is is near the same civilization stage as us may be a bit small considering that human civilization has only been around for 10,000 years out of the 13,700,000,000 and I'm sure what ever life is out there they will probably evolve and advance at about the same rate we did, why wouldn't they? But anyways, whatever life is out there, it is probably just bacteria and shit or maybe fish or maybe even little bugs and shit.
[QUOTE=Swebonny;14169133]Our galaxy is [B]90-100 000 LY[/B] across, no matter how noisy we are. The "noise" we have made, radio waves I assume, have only traveled 100-150 LY away from us.
Also, we are the proof that there is life in this galaxy...[/QUOTE]
You can send a radio signal as far as light will travel, which can be across the entire universe, it will just take however many light years you are away from it. Communicating with a nearby solar system would be very plausible, but communicating with another galaxy might be a little far fetched since the latency would just be too much.

Yes. Space is just too big, radio-waves are absorbed by interstellar gas and further-more the waves decreasing in intensity by 1/distance² (Hertz-Dipole) so it's unlikely anyone in a distance of 1 ly can still detect it properly. Maybe only if he knows where to search and what for.

So for all we know there could be hundreds of intelligent civilisations in the galaxy but we just can't hear them because their signals are drowned out in the interstellar medium?

Communicating with a nearby solar system sure is possible, if you like to wait like several decades for the message to reach them and additional decades for the answer to reach us.
Communicating with other galaxies are literally impossible. I mean our closest galaxy is like 2,5 [B]million[/B](!) light years away from us...
I couldn't be bothered finding the post, but someone said something like night turning to day if a supernova happened nearby (astronomically nearby). I'm curious as to how long that would last.

When it says "in the spring of 1006, people could probably have read manuscripts at midnight by its light." does it mean for the entire spring or did it just last a few hours/days?
[QUOTE=Lumenshroom;14182005]The universe isn't as crowded as you think; Consider that our galaxy is made up of 99% void[/QUOTE]
Actually, you're right. Stars, galaxies and planets make up for about 1.4% of all matter in the universe.
The rest is Dark Matter and Dark Energy.
The question shouldn´t be...
"is there any life in our Universe besides us ?"
...but...
"isn´t there any life in our Universe besides us ?"
...you can´t deal a Question, about something that´s 100% true.
Anyone who disbeliefs in other life out there, is simply ignorant, not well educated or has a giant lag of imagination.
The key to communication with other Species, is Subspace-Communication...it´s proofen in theorie to be workable, but yet Humanity lags of the energy that would be needed to make it possible.
Anyone thought about space travel ? Do you know that Space travel, like you imagine it, will never be possible ? Why ?...Because all the Energy in the [b]whole[/b] Universe wouldn´t be enough, to accelerate mass, faster then lightspeed. It is simply impossible, to do space travels at a comfortable speed.
But there are other ways, to reach the goal, like: Cryostasis, Sub-Space travel via a Subspace Vacuolo (remember Star Trek?), traveling through Wormholes (not natural, but Human made ones), or by bending Space. The last option is the most possible, because it would need almost no energy at all. It´s more about that bending space, is something that Humanity can´t do yet...:D

Yes. Not necessarily in our own galaxy but most probably in others. And most probably we just do not recognize signals from them (not at the correct frequency, or angle) or it's simply to weak, absorbed or distorted.

But that void is filled with Radiation.
impressive

Matter is 99 % void.
Think about THAT.
What do you guys think about aliens influencing our early cultures?
The Puma Punku ruins really make me think that some crazy shit went down way back when.

No.
I think I went overboard with the new stuff I added to OP.

Anything can be achieved with drive, vision, and a limitless source of slave labor.
[QUOTE=Sgt Napalm;14191201]Matter is 99 % void.

And in that Void, Visible Matter only constitutes .6% of the entire Universes Mass.
Essentially, everything is made of nothing.
Somewhere out there in the vast nothingness of space...
Somewhere far away in space and time..
Staring upwards at the gleaming stars in the obsidian sky
We're marooned on a small island,
In an endless sea,
Confined to a tiny spit of sand,
Unable to escape
Haha, I know it's a parody but still funny as hell.

I plan on using the argument about how the light of the stars shines towards Earth, therefore the universe revolves around Earth to pretend I'm Christian and fuck with other Christians.

Actualy just the average distance from the core and and electron is huge. But electrons aren't point particles: They are distributed over the atom in orbitals which covers the full atom - Even the "void" of it. It's not that empty.
